S31 8. Too Much Praising

Shaking her head, Kara widened her smile. “That means you two have to eat a lot today. You must gather a lot of energy to fight that witch in case she comes into your dreams again.”

“That’s Emily’s dream, Mommy. But I don’t mind eating a lot. So, in Emily’s dream, I’m still strong.” Louis showed off his little muscles.

Kara laughed again. “Well then, Mommy should continue cooking.”

“Why isn’t Abigail the one who prepared breakfast? Do you want to prove that what Grandma Diana said is wrong, Mommy?”

Kara was stung by Louis’ question. After a blink, she smiled slightly. “I cook because I want you to eat well.

“What are you cooking, Mommy?” Emily stood on tiptoe, trying to peek out. “Is it sandwich?”

Kara shook her head. “Not the ordinary sandwich. This is a special sandwich from K City. You will definitely like it. Now get ready. Wash your face and brush your teeth.”

“Ready, Captain!” Louis jumped excitedly.

However, Emily shuddered. “But Mommy, is the water cold?”

“No. The heater is working fine.”

“Mrs. Miller?”

Sophia shook her head. “Call me Miss Moore, Sweeties.”

“Why?”

Louis’ lips pursed. “Okay. I know this is definitely an adult thing.”

Emily giggled briefly. A second later, she waved at Sophia. “Bye, Miss Moore. Let’s talk again later.”
